About Turning The Corner HR


The world of work is more complicated than ever, and traditional HR has struggled to keep pace. When it comes to creating and sustaining healthy, thriving cultures, small businesses suffer the most.


Turning the Corner is the remedy. Today’s high-tech, low-touch, cookie-cutter approaches simply don’t work for small businesses. Experience, judgment, and relationships have been replaced by technology in the name of efficiency with disastrous results. At Turning the Corner, we understand your challenges are as unique as the company itself. We design personalized HR approaches that work for you.


Only after listening, learning, and diagnosing the underlying root causes do we provide recommendations and solutions to help you alleviate your chronic (systemic) HR pain so you can finally move forward.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
